The colours that hair dyes fade to...

[laurahair]

my hair is naturally dark brown, i bleached to light orange and over that here is what i found:

directions cerise-faded to paler pink then back to orange
directions rose red-pinky red, magenta pink, paler pink, orange
directions pillarbox red-orangey red, orange
crazy colour vermillion red-started a very bright orangey red, fading to bright orange very quickly

here is a good pic of my uneven fade thanks to random straightening-this was rose red

just found this, its what cerise faded to on me :



bit gingery on the ends but i was washing it out here. it fades dead nice

ignore my general facial area.

Ooooh that faded gorgeous, mine just went BRIGHT pink then went a salmony colour (still nice-but that fades better)

Cupcake pink over an uneven yellow base with a few slightly orange patches:

Neon pink - paler luminous neon pink with not very noticable peach bits - pink with peach bits - peach with blonde bits

It lasted two months on me, I got NO run-off after the first wash and I bet it'd have done three months if I hadn't started fading it out.

anyone know what colour directions alpine green fades to

mines started to lighten already and wondering if another tub needs to go on or if itll be a nice colour to leave :/

[NaomiMetalface]

It's nice, mine faded to a lighter green, a little blue-toned because I had a light turquoise base, but still a pretty colour :3

[Debbielou]

oooh lovely, thanks

[marthamagic;]

Yeahh I found mine faded lighter green until it hit the pale minty green colour which was apparently so nice that when I went to get my hair cut and when I was finished in the hair dressers a woman asked if I'd just had it done and that it looked lovely haha.
A bleach bath gets the minty green colour out too

[Debbielou]

ooh great, I was hoping it wouldnt go bluey as with pics it looks blue, (not that I dont like blue but just after turquoise I got bored of bluey colours)
minty green would be nice

[pippachainsaw]

mine fades to a very dark turquoise/light teal

I just wanted to add my experiences, both are directions dyes...

Silver (over bleached blonde hair) if left on for ages (a good 2 hours) comes out a pastel lilac, which fades quickly (one or two washes) to silver/grey
And diluted lavender (over faded silver, some blonde showing) came out candyfloss pink, then fade to a light silver/pink in about 2 washes then to silver in another 2

how does Stargazer Ultra Blue fade ??

[ToBeDecided]

I can't remember if I've posted this, but MP Green Envy starts of a lovely dark green (the gallery is really accurate haha) and fades to a nice pastel minty/bluey/green. It's hard for me to describe because as it's faded it's gone from a solid colour to really multi-tonal!

[TabithaBlue]

Directions Coral Red gets a lot brighter as it fades; it's a kind of neon orange after five or six washes.

[creamsoda]

I've discovered that if you mix Crazy Colours Pine Green with a lot of conditioner you get a lovely vibrant turquoise blue/green colour, it's almost UV-looking. And you can probably get gallons of it out of it!

I have a little question, I know I shouldn't be on this post since I use a permanent color, but the red is very pink based, it looks hot pink when I dye it and after, but once I wash it it turns a little ariel-ish then a month later it turns a little orangy, does all this fading have to do with your base color? Mine is like an orangy brown from a bad dye job at the salon, I'm going to try Pravana red semi dye and I was wondering if no matter what, my color will fade orangy since that's what my hair was previously dyed even before permanent.
I really want to try special effects devilish, but not sure now!

[pippachainsaw]

your base colour and the base of the dye depend on your fade. for instance my base is white/silver. my dye is a blue based purple, so will fade to a bluey silver.

so if you use a orange based red, it'll fade to red. BUT if you mix a red and pink based red together you'll have a true red fade. hope this makes sense =)

as regards pravana's base. i have NO clue =s

MP Green Envy is terrible to me. It fades without washing or other typical fading things (like sunlight) for me. I've dyed it twice now, first time it was on for four hours, second time for 12. Turned out the same. It turns yellow, multitoned, like someone above me posted. But unfortunately not blue, but yellow.

I'm soooo sad about this, because it's the most gorgeous actual dark green (no hint of blue), at least it's my favourite. But if my colour lasts less than a week, it gets annoying.

And to think that the hair at my neck (lower layer) was dyed Tropical Green somewhere in the beginning of january and it's still very much the same colour. I'm afraid MP might not agree with my hair.

[pippachainsaw]

im the same with MP. it really doesnt stick on my hair. ultra violet was lovely for the first week, then bloomin' horrid after that

[eeekitties]

Pravana red when applied, was wayyy too dark and burgundy sort of, after several scrubbing washes, it is a beautiful bright, true, red

[PetitMom]

Directions Ebony fades and becomes Manic Panic's Enchanted Forest.

I have dark hair normally but bleached it blonde beforehand which may have helped with the result I got on a dark green-blue shade after only a few washes.

[RockinLollipop]

SFX - Candy Apple Red fades to pink, my hair has brassy tones underneath so they kinda mix to create a dirty pinky orange.

[Debbielou]

anyone know what colour directions violet fades too (I know its on my head so Ill find out I just wanna know now )

[xXAphrodisiacXx]

Directions Violet- Faded to a lilacy colour both times. With the turquoise it seems a little bluer than last time but that might be from the other dye.
Directions Turquoise- has stayed pretty well (2 months now!), fading to a slightly lighter turquoise colour.

[Andserkiel]

SFX Deep Purple fades slowly to a lovely pink shade.

[SKB101]

Crazy Colour -Fire faded to a pinky/orange sorta peach colour on me
Crazy Colour -Vermillion red faded to orange

Did you find that it faded quite quickly (the fire red) hun? x
